I am traveling to Lijiang in August, please give me detailed itinerary! ! !

Take the train to Kunming, and then you can choose to take the train or bus to Lijiang. It is recommended to take the bus to Lijiang at night, so that you can get some sleep and arrive the next morning. Personally, I don’t really recommend Dali. One is that I don’t have enough time. One is not necessary. If you like that kind of ancient city, you can go to Lijiang Ancient Town (in general, Lijiang Ancient Town refers to Dayan Town. In fact, there are three ancient cities in total, namely Dayan Town, Shuhe, xx, Dayan Town is fully developed and the ancient city is lively. Shuhe is under development and is relatively calmer than Dayan.) You can choose to stay in Shuhe for a few days.

Now is basically the peak season. Prices in all aspects of the ancient city will rise more or less. Accommodation is about 120 per standard room, and eating in the ancient city is about 20-30 per person. Personally I don't think it tastes good. . . So I go to the old town for every meal. That is the real local taste.

To stay, there are about 400 inns in Lijiang. There are all kinds of inns, some with wooden structures, some with small brick courtyards, some with small bridges and flowing water, and some with views of the mountains. It depends on your personal preference. A standard room usually costs around 120, and a more luxurious one may be more expensive. I remember there was a villa area outside the ancient city. It was said to be a six-star hotel. I remember it cost more than 3,000 a day, orz, completely. No need, haha. In addition, a personal friendly reminder, it is best not for you two to live in a wooden structure. Although that kind of house looks good, the sound insulation is relatively poor. Well, you know the reason. . . . . .

Let’s talk about the journey below

The first day

If you set off from Kunming last night, you will probably be able to arrive this morning. I personally recommend adjusting it. The main reason for choosing an inn, walking around the ancient city, etc. is to adapt to the local weather and altitude. Moreover, I think choosing an inn itself is the beginning of travel. Then take a rest early to accumulate energy for the next few days.

The next day

Decide whether to go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain depending on the weather conditions that day. The weather in Lijiang can be said to be changeable. I remember one day I was going to the Snow Mountain and woke up at eight o'clock. I saw it was pouring rain outside, so I continued to sleep. My girlfriend woke me up at nine o'clock, and I saw it was cloudless. . . So the local old people say that whether you can see the whole snow mountain clearly depends on your fate with the Jade Dragon. Oh well, I digress. If the weather that day is very good, then you can set off. When I went there, I chose a chartered car. I remember it was 100. It means a driver, a companion, and a bread. They will take you wherever you go, and they will give you recommendations halfway (I tend to use sales promotion...) , introduce local customs, but the quality of each chartered car is different, and the service is different. When looking for one, be sure to keep your eyes open and don't be disturbed by a small group of people. If you don't want to go to such trouble, you can also choose to go by car, of course, it will be more tiring.

When you arrive at the scenic area, you can choose to walk around the scenic area in the morning and take photos. If the weather is very clear, congratulations, you will have a panoramic view of the snow-capped mountains (I mean the outermost peak). That shocking feeling, ah, absolutely, in this climate, there should only be some snow on the top of the mountain. But I think it’s more beautiful. I’d better equip myself with a better camera. Oh, by the way, bring more batteries =o =,

At noon, I ate in the scenic area, and there was only one restaurant inside, so. There is no choice, but the taste is still good in my opinion. There are many special delicacies and the price is a bit expensive. However, there is no choice but to go to this restaurant.

The afternoon began. . Personally, I highly recommend here. I highly recommend a show called Impression Lijiang. It is definitely worth seeing. It is absolutely absolutely worth it. If you are not shocked after watching it, you will not be left with tears of excitement, tears of shock, or tears of emotion. I'm all done. Haha, in short, it is highly recommended. It starts at 1:30 every day and ends at 3:30.

After watching the show, you can choose whether to go to the ropeway depending on your physical strength. The ropeway is divided into three types, large, medium and small. The scenery you can see and the altitude you can reach are all. They are different. You can go to the ticket office to see which style you like more, and then decide which one to go.

When you return to Lijiang in the evening, if you charter a car, you can ask the driver to recommend a hotel to you. When I went there, the driver was afraid that we would spend money in vain, so he did everything possible to save us money. They found a restaurant for us. Although the restaurant is not big, I still can’t put down the smell. Haha, I met a good person in a foreign country.

I’m quite tired today, so don’t go shopping in the evening and rest.

The third day

It’s better to choose based on the weather conditions. Oh, it’s a bit wordy. Yes, the specific projects are divided into rafting, hot springs, and horseback riding

Which one you like more? Rafting in Tiger Leaping Gorge, the first bend of the Yangtze River, I remember the hot springs are on the mountain, and there is a temple next to it. There are many places to choose from for horseback riding, such as Lashihai, racecourse, and private ones. I will introduce them in detail later. Once you decide where to go, you can spend a day in any of the activities here.

Make your choice

Day 4

After the first two days, are you a little tired? What, not? It’s normal. People who come to Lijiang are always in a state of high excitement. I don’t know if you like horse riding. The horse riding mentioned here is not just walking around the scenic spot as mentioned the next day, but real horse riding. When climbing mountains, the place we want to go is a small village in a ravine. The road is particularly difficult. We rented a car, but because it rained last night, we walked on this mountain road. I just got out of the car and pushed it several times. But it is worth it. The altitude reached by horse riding here is higher than that of the big ropeway. You can also pick some pure natural wild snow tea on the top of the mountain. One drawback is that it takes 3 hours to go up the mountain, 3 hours to go down the mountain, and climb several mountains to get there. For food, you can eat in the village, which is real local food. Returning to Lijiang in the evening, I feel sore all over. It’s normal, find a massage place and relax. Otherwise, you two won't be able to get up tomorrow.

On the fifth day, you can decide whether to go to Lugu Lake or Shangri-La depending on your personal circumstances, but I personally don’t recommend it here. The main reason is that it is a long way and you will be delayed on the way. If you are in the future If you have enough time, these two places are still worth visiting. During the day, you can walk around the ancient city. By then you will feel that your eyes are not enough. There are still many shops in the ancient city, many novel gadgets. Here is a reminder, Naxi silver jewelry is very famous, but you need to polish it when buying it. With your eyes open, there are many profiteers, so it is best to go to the time-honored stores. It is relatively safe. When it comes to reminders, I would like to say one more thing. Do not praise local children for being cute, as this will be considered unlucky by the locals. Do not take photos of local elderly people. Just do as the Romans do. In the evening, if you like the classical feel, go and listen to Naxi folk music. I forgot its scientific name=0=. Old people in their 80s and 90s use instruments that are hundreds of years old to play music that is thousands of years old. If you like liveliness, go to the bar street. It’s really lively. The entire bar street is built against a small river. There are probably dozens of them. It was crowded at night, but it was really lively there. Tourists from all over the place were relaxing there, and Naxi girls (not excluding guest actors) were singing on the rooftop. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing.

Day 6

In fact, when every friend who wants to travel to Lijiang asks me about the itinerary, I strongly recommend that you must stay for a few days to live a good life in the ancient city, or In Dayan or Shuhe, savor the simple tranquility. Really, it's definitely worth it. When we went there, we changed the style of the inn one day to experience the different scenery.

Day 7

Let’s do some shopping in the ancient city, buy some tourist products, etc., then book tickets and prepare to return. In fact, I really don’t want to leave.

The above are all experiences of self-guided tours. You can also join a group tour in the ancient city. This is very convenient. There are many tourist service stations of this nature in the ancient city. You can go to any scenic spots you want to visit. Just ask, of course, you can also discuss with the innkeeper, they will give you suggestions.

Finally, let’s talk about some things to note.

1. Weather, the temperature difference in Lijiang Ancient City is relatively large throughout the day, and the ancient city itself is located at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, especially on the snow-capped mountains. At a height of more than 5,000 meters, everyone has different feelings about altitude sickness. It depends on the individual and needs to be flexibly adjusted.

2. Sun protection. The sun in Lijiang is still very strong. Even on cloudy days, there will be an obvious burning sensation. Be sure to pay attention to sun protection.

3. Don’t go at night. It is a very secluded alley. There are relatively few places like this in the ancient city, but there are still some. Be safe.

4. Don’t bring too much cash. Banks/ATMs in the ancient city are very convenient and can be found everywhere.

Actually, what I’m talking about is my own experience. You don’t have to follow the steps when you get there. It was my first time when I went there, and it was also a self-guided tour. I didn’t know anything at the beginning. If you say you are lost, you will be lost. It will be fine later. You can go wherever you want. The options are relatively high. You can also study it carefully when you get there. When traveling, what you want is a sense of novelty.

Finally, I wish you a happy trip. If you have any questions, you can hi me on Baidu.
